The sun is coming up on a brand new day. I am the only one up on this quiet morning. My head hurts a little from the short night of sleep, but yesterday was a good day and I am ready for today. We’re gathering after church to celebrate Samuel’s birthday. Last night Ladybug made Frango Mint Pie while I made lasagna. The spring birthday season is kicking off!
giving thanks #1051 – 1060
family dinner this afternoon for Samuel’s birthday (he’ll be 20 tomorrow)

Noah taking Bee and Sunshine to the UI basketball game – and then out for ice cream

Sunshine weeding around the tulips coming up next to the barn
no coats or gloves needed when the boys went out to play
our home – and the beginning of some clarity about the remodel
waking next to Russ this morning, feeling deep peace
sunshine on the frosty pasture
church – worship, the Word, a place our kids want to be
Join me. What are you thankful for today?
Have a wonderful Sunday, friends.

A weekend with our oldest son on his college campus, peaceful days amongst our children, spring break vacation time as a family, an amazing adoptive community who I find encouragement, love and support from, the daily grace, mercy and love of my Heavenly Father.
Thankful for a short walk with my son Cameron to pick up stickerballs before we went to church. Thankful that he is home on IV pump and he's alive today! Each day is a gift now :)
A good first meeting with new foster kids, sending my oldest off on a class trip to Washington DC, packing for a return trip to Haiti this week, a refreshing time in church this morning, and my sweet husband cooking dinner tonight!
